The historic steam tug Hercules, one of the many historic ships of the San Francsico Maritime National Historic Park, is on the move again! It will soon be joining it’s fellow historic ships at the Mare Island waterfront. These historic vessels will soon be open to the public again, but not until the Park Service finishes building the access ramps and finishes docent training.

Did you know that Ages of Sail carries a beautiful wooden model kit of the Hercules? These kits are manufactured by OcCre of Spain. This is a 1:50 scale model that measures 36″ long and 16.5″ high, and is made to be built either as a display model or an RC model. Learn more about the kit here.

You can learn more about the Hercules on the SFMNHP website here.
